Chapter 223: Devil Fruit Wholesale (Part 1)
"Temperature Fruit!"
Paramecia-type Temperature Fruit! It allows the user to adjust their body temperature from zero to one hundred degrees Celsius. After awakening, the user can affect the surrounding temperature.
Charlotte carefully read the introduction in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia.
This book not only provides the names of Devil Fruits but also records past users and their developments, offering valuable insights for future generations.
However, Charlotte frowned after reading the description. Adjusting one's own temperature? That seems weak!
Logically, the Temperature Fruit should be incredibly powerful! With proper development, it should reach thousands or even tens of thousands of degrees Celsius. But the fruit's limitation—only adjusting the body temperature between zero and one hundred degrees—made it seem almost useless!
Even his daughter's Cold-Cold Fruit could already lower the surrounding temperature to minus thirty degrees Celsius.
"Oh well! Let's wait and see. What if awakening breaks this limitation?"
Charlotte sighed and placed the fruit on the second shelf of his safe.
There were still seven Devil Fruits left to inspect. Charlotte eagerly opened the next box.
Inside was a pineapple-shaped fruit, covered with white, snowflake-like patterns.
The moment Charlotte saw it, he immediately recognized it.
"Logia-type Snow-Snow Fruit!"
"It's the Snow-Snow Fruit! How did it end up here?"
Charlotte held the snow-white Devil Fruit in his hand, closely examining it.
In the original story, the Snow-Snow Fruit belonged to Monet, the Snow Woman under Doflamingo.
This fruit allows the user to transform into snow, making them immune to physical and non-Haki attacks. The user can generate snow, and its quantity depends on the user's strength. It's essentially a weaker version of the Ice-Ice Fruit.
Its main weakness is vulnerability to high temperatures and flames. The Flame-Flame Fruit and Magma Fruit are its greatest nemeses.
With this fruit, the user can turn body parts into snow and reassemble their body instantly after being physically destroyed. The amount, range, and hardness of snow depend on the user's strength.
Charlotte was stunned. Another Logia Fruit!
Logia-type Devil Fruits are incredibly rare and valuable. Until now, Charlotte had collected:
Swamp Fruit
Gas Fruit
Snow-Snow Fruit
And soon, he would obtain the Thunder Fruit from Sky Island.
Out of the eleven Logia Fruits in the original work, he already had three. And the Thunder Fruit was as good as his!
"Hahahaha! My luck is off the charts!"
Charlotte carefully placed the Snow-Snow Fruit on the top shelf, alongside his top-tier Devil Fruits.
"Six more to go! What other treasures await me?"
Feeling confident, Charlotte eagerly opened the next box.
Inside was a banana-shaped fruit, golden yellow with dense black patterns.
"A banana shape? Please don't be another Zoan! If it is, at least let it be a Mythical Zoan!"
Charlotte was greedy, no doubt.
After getting so many rare fruits, he still wanted more.
Quickly, Charlotte flipped through the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia.
After a long search, he finally found it.
"Zoan-type: Ancient Species—Sarcosuchus Fruit!
An ancient species? Incredible!"
Charlotte was pleasantly surprised.
Over the years, he had collected Mythical Zoan Fruits and standard Zoan Fruits, but he had never obtained an Ancient Zoan—until now!
Ancient Zoans are much stronger than regular Zoans, offering greater recovery and combat abilities.
Charlotte placed the Sarcosuchus Fruit on the third shelf, marking the first occupant of that tier.
Next, Charlotte opened another treasure chest.
Inside was a cantaloupe-shaped fruit, with shiny black skin.
"This one looks extraordinary!"
Charlotte's instincts told him this fruit was special.
He quickly checked the Encyclopedia and soon found it.
"Paramecia-type Obsidian Fruit!
It allows the user to cover their body with obsidian for defense. The defense is extremely strong!"
"Obsidian? That sounds like the Diamond Fruit!"
Charlotte laughed, recalling the "Diamond Boy" he had encountered earlier.
"This fruit has immense defensive power! Perfect for my son in the future!"
He placed the Obsidian Fruit on the second shelf, alongside the Temperature Fruit.
Now, only four Devil Fruits remained.
Charlotte's excitement grew.
He quickly opened the next box.
Inside was another cantaloupe-shaped fruit, this time green with capsule-like patterns.
Charlotte's eyes gleamed.
"This must be another rare one!"
Flipping through the Encyclopedia, he soon found the page.
"Paramecia-type Medicine-Medicine Fruit!
It can produce a variety of capsule medicines, but the user must possess advanced pharmacological knowledge."
Charlotte's eyes sparkled.
"This fruit is practically a cheat!"
With the Medicine-Medicine Fruit, the user can create medicines to treat various diseases. In theory, it could cure anything—as long as the user understands pharmacology.
"Perfect! I just hired someone for this—Naqin!"
Naqin was a pharmacological expert Charlotte had recruited recently.
"This fruit seems tailor-made for her!"
But then Charlotte hesitated.
Naqin had only been with the Rockefeller Pirates for six months.
Her loyalty was still uncertain.
"I can't risk giving her such a powerful fruit! What if she escapes after eating it?"
Charlotte decided to wait.
After all, caution is key.
He placed the Medicine-Medicine Fruit on the second shelf and moved on.
Opening the next box, he found a completely red apple, surrounded by black lines.
The apple felt warm in his hand.
"Strange! It's slightly hot to the touch."
Charlotte immediately opened the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia.
After flipping through a few pages, he finally found the answer.
